From beat writer Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune …

Myers hadn’t appeared in a game since May 10 and the discomfort in his left wrist obviously wasn’t going away. He missed a significant portion of the 2014 season with a stress fracture in his other (right) wrist. Will Venable and Abraham Almonte will draw the majority of starts in center field while Myers is out.

Myers, 24, was batting .291/.340/.493 with five home runs and 19 RBI through 32 games this season.

On Thursday, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that the Braves and shortstop Adeiny Hechavarría reunited on a one-year, $1 million contract.

Hechavarría, 30, began the season with the Mets but was released in mid-August and joined the Braves shortly thereafter. He enjoyed more success in Atlanta, albeit in a smaller sample size. In aggregate, Hechavarría hit .241/.299/.443 with nine home runs and 33 RBI over 221 trips to the plate. More importantly, he provided versatility with above-average defense.

The Braves are banking on Hechavarría doing more of the same in 2020 as a backup infielder. He will spell Ozzie Albies, Dansby Swanson, Johan Camargo, and Austin Riley as needed.
